A systematic molecular dynamics study of nearest-neighbor effects on base pair and base pair step conformations and fluctuations in B-DNA
It is well recognized that base sequence exerts a significant influence on the properties of DNA and plays a significant role in protein-DNA interactions vital for cellular processes. Understanding and predicting base sequence effects requires an extensive structural and dynamic dataset which is currently unavailable from experiment. A consortium of laboratories was consequently formed to obtai...
متن کاملConstruction of a Synthetic Vector for Preparation of a 100 Base Pair DNA Ladder
DNA size markers are widely used to estimate the size of DNA samples on agarose or polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis (PAGE). DNA markers can be prepared by mixing PCR products with definite sizes.Alternatively, they are prepared by restriction enzyme digestion of the genomic DNA of bacteriophages ornatural and synthetic DNA plasmids. The present study describes engineering of ...
متن کاملA Hoogsteen base pair embedded in undistorted B-DNA.
Hoogsteen base pairs within duplex DNA typically are only observed in regions containing significant distortion or near sites of drug intercalation. We report here the observation of a Hoogsteen base pair embedded within undistorted, unmodified B-DNA. The Hoogsteen base pair, consisting of a syn adenine base paired with an anti thymine base, is found in the 2.1 A resolution structure of the MAT...
متن کاملDNA-directed base pair opening.
Strand separation is a fundamental molecular process essential for the reading of the genetic information during DNA replication, transcription and recombination. However, DNA melting in physiological conditions in which the double helix is expected to be stable represents a challenging problem. Current models propose that negative supercoiling destabilizes the double helix and promotes the spo...
متن کاملDNA base flipping by a base pair-mimic nucleoside
On the basis of non-covalent bond interactions in nucleic acids, we synthesized the deoxyadenosine derivatives tethering a phenyl group (X) and a naphthyl group (Z) by an amide linker, which mimic a Watson-Crick base pair. Circular dichroism spectra indicated that the duplexes containing X and Z formed a similar conformation regardless of the opposite nucleotide species (A, G, C, T and an abasi...
